Taco bar hire in Ashton, from our food truck or trailer
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits wedding evening food and team lunches.
In a hamlet or village like Ashton, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Common questions in Ashton
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Ashton for guests?
Botley station, about 4 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
